Wanting to explore the underdark area nearest their lair, the group set off back into the underdark from their lair. They traveled for 10 days through the underdark collecting mushrooms as they went.

  Teleporting around the Surface World (Recap from 8-18-23) (Yulisen the 12th of Misuthar) Shiril after teleporting the Deep Gnomes and Duergar to Mantol-Derith, and giving them each 200 gp to start their lives over, teleported back to the Clan Hall in Grimgolir. Here she faced a dilemma, She felt obligated to take the Pallid elves back home to the Manageri coast, but also felt a need to help the Deep Gnomes rebuild their city. On top of all that she sort of felt the need to stay with the ragtag group fighting demon lords in the underdark. Finally decided to hang out in Hupperdook teaching the Kobolds magic, and helping out till spring when she could make the journey back to the Pallid Grove with her fellow Pallid Elves. After a nice night in the Hucksters Heroes Clan Hall The group met for breakfast in the dining hall, Albert went to brief the Dwindallian Empire ambassador in Grimgolir. Chardalyn went to brief the Kryn ambassador and escorted the Drow and Goblin survivors to the d...

Freeing the Vast Oblivion (Recap from 8-11-23) Level 1. Level 2. Level 3. (Whelson the 9th of Misuthar) Combat continued, and Karazikar started using his lair actions through Shedraks eye staff. The group had a tough battle with the Arch-Mage Shedrak of the Eyes, the weird architecture, and split levels connected by swinging rope bridges of the vast oblivion causing tactical problems with combat, and almost cast several members of the party into the depths of the vast oblivion.(Also running this combat skipping between 11 maps in Above VTT was insane) The group was finally successful, but as Shedrak fell the Beholder floated down screaming in anger at the death of his favorite slave. Combat continued and eventually after a long tiring fight the group was successful, killing Karazikar the Eye Tyrant. Level 4. Level 5. Level 6. Level 7. Level 8 Level 9. Level 10. Bottom of the Oblivion 300 feet below level 10. Top Beholders Lair 30 feet above level 1. Once the Beholder was dead, the 100 ...

In the Troglodytes Lair (Recap from 8-04-23) (Da’Leysen the 6th of Misuthar) After the party entered the small cavern filled with stalactites and stalagmites, They entered an ambush with Ropers and Piercers. The combat was very swift and the party defeated the Ropers and Piercers in less than one round. Searching the cave revealed the remains of a half-eaten male drow lying against one wall. The drow carries a small pouch containing 300 pp and two spell scrolls (shield, and phantasmal force) written on sheets of trillimac parchment.  When the ropers are cut open, the adventurers find 25 pp in the gizzard of one, and a ring of protection in the gizzard of the other as well as harvesting: Roper Tendril (x12) worth 2gp each. Roper Stomach Acid (2, vials) worth 5gp each. The raging battle in the adjacent chambers between the rival troglodytes over the evil looking longsword gave the party perfect cover to slip by unnoticed. They made their way out another worm tunnel and continued thei...

Battle for Blingdenstone(Recap from 7-21-23) The party met at “The Foaming Tap" on the morning of Whelson the 2nd of Misuthar to continue making battle plans. It was decided to split the party with Flink, Uthemar, Neheedra, and Shiril helping the Deep gnomes with the main diversionary battle against the Oozes, Jellies, Slimes and Gelatinous Cubes. Armed with spell gems containing a 7th level Dawn Spell, and many gallons of flammable oil. The plan was to engage the Oozes in the sunken cavern inside the 120 foot wide hollowed out ancient pearl where the Jellies and Oozes seemed to be congregating. As the battle starts, it should draw the rest of the Oozes into that area where they will be trapped by the Dawn spells being cast on all the exits. Then the Deep Gnomes will flood the cavern with oil which then would be ignited by Fireballs. That conflagration would kill all the demonically possessed Oozes with the dawn spells killing any that tried to escape the flames.  At the same tim...
